Lovely Breakfast Experience

“I was absolutely thrilled with the breakfast selection during my stay. The vegan options were really good, especially the vegan sausages, bacon, and hash browns-honestly the best I've had! The restaurant manager was incredibly thoughtful and made sure we had everything we needed, even remembering our usual table. It was a busy morning, yet the service remained exemplary.” view full review

Pretty decent stay, comfy bed! Would go back. Couple of minor issues, but nothing major.

Rooms

Room was clean, bed was comfy as advertised. Maybe the carpet could use an update, and I'm a bit of a clean freak so a little more attention to detail in the bathroom wouldn't hurt.
